English Exam Tutoring - National 5, Higher, Advanced Higher level

English Literature, while being a fun and engaging subject, can be equally daunting - especially when getting your ideas down on the page! This class is designed for Scottish High school students, ranging from National 5 to Advanced Higher level, and offers support with how to approach textual analysis, essay writing skills, proofreading, and exam techniques so that your ideas can be conveyed in the best way possible.
I have a first-class MA undergraduate in English literature from the University of Edinburgh, so am up to date with contemporary literary theory and debates. Furthermore, I sat the Scottish National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher English exams myself, and achieved A's, as recently as 2018 so I have an understanding of what the courses entail.
I have tutored privately for three years, and am available in person and over Zoom. My approach to teaching English is a collaborative one, allowing for an open discussion of your aims and needs. I can tailor to what each person struggles with in class while providing the information and structure needed to excel in examinations. Furthermore, I will proofread the folio work required for the exam. I find that with this approach, students gain the confidence and skill set needed to tackle their examinations and thrive.

Extra information

Bring your own laptop, as I will send resource packs, and require you to send me your work to mark.

About Me

I am a recent graduate of the University of Edinburgh, and while studying I found a love for collaborative work and helping others! Throughout my degree, I tutored high school students privately and found joy in reading and giving feedback to my academic colleagues. I specialise in exam prep for high school students, but also have experience in giving feedback for creative folio pieces, something I have learnt independently and been taught via creative writing classes. Outside of tutoring I write, and have been recently published in Pushing Out the Boat Magazine!

Education

University of Edinburgh, 2018-2023
MA English Literature, First class Honours
University of Copenhagen, Exchange 2021-2022
Studied MA Creative Writing and Creative Non-fiction, Achieved A - grade equivalent

Experience / Qualifications

Tutored privately for three years. Students have typically found a two-grade increase from prelim grade. (eg. C in prelim to A in exam). While I specialise in English and creative writing, I have also tutored Drama, which I studied in school and practice as an extracurricular, and psychology. If you are interested in these, please send me a message enquiring!
Creative writing is often portrayed as a solitary task. This cannot be further from the truth! Even professional authors have their work proofread, edited, and through this process redrafted. I offer these services to writers of every level. As a writer myself, I specialise in prose and plays, and am happy to look at work from a spectrum of literature. Specifically, I look to help support you with your work by proofreading, checking for grammar and spelling, but also suggesting literary techniques that may improve your work. Furthermore, I can provide a range of exercises for new writers to explore their tone and style, and am happy to help people to whom English is a second or third language gain confidence in their writing!
